“a true conversationalist” is the title of the comic, it was present in the template i used.

i was pretty frazzled and upset when i wrote that.

explanation if you care:

i’d just spend several hours being told in opaque language why was wrong and bad of me to describe a person in a meme that was shared as “simping for a billionaire based on who hates them”. the intended sentiment was that “X made Y mad and that’s good” is a crap take based on tribalism and celebrity worship, the sort of stuff culty right-wingers do. i was not allowed to explain myself, and accused of things like “engaging in bad faith”, “tearing down allies with the language of progressivism”, being “leftist MAGA” - none of which anyone cared to clarify to any degree. i also got my ass ridden by four separate people about “calling (specific person in chat) a simp”, because they commented before i did and assumed it was about them specifically. my explanation was rejected and i was treated like a liar and it was insisted that i accept that i’m an asshole and a bad leftist.

i didn’t go find swifties to provoke about it either, that’s fucking pointless - people are allowed to like things, and i do agree with your point about awareness. this happened in a mostly left-not-liberal politics chat that is one of the few places i bother talking politics online because folks there are normally very level-headed and willing to engage different viewpoints and try to understand what people mean instead of just reacting off the cuff. i was and continue to be baffled by the excessive, accusatory, and iresome reaction i got to a low-effort jab at an even lower-effort joke.

end of explanation, if you don’t care

but yeah its a shite meme and it hurts to look at. will likely delete.
